4 Best Low Commission Realtors in Pennsylvania (2025)

• Pennsylvania discount real estate brokers offer a similar range of services and support as conventional realtors for a lower price.
• If you work with a conventional Pennsylvania realtor, you’ll typically pay a listing commission fee of about 2.75%.
• Discount realtors typically deliver savings by charging lower listing fees at closing. The average listing fee among discount brokerages in Pennsylvania is 1.7% as of September 2025.
• That’s an average savings premium of $3,613.00 based on the median home sale price in Pennsylvania ($355,400.00), according to the latest available data (September 2025).

• Consider a discount realtor if saving on real estate commission fees is a top priority, but you still want a real estate agent to guide and support you through the process.
• Discount realtors sometimes handle more customers at once to offset their lower rates. Some sellers say this can lead to less hands-on, personalized service compared to a conventional realtor.
• We recommend sellers with more complicated properties or circumstances stick with conventional realtors with experience that fits their needs. (Try Clever: list with top full-service realtors, get up to 50% off their typical rate.)
• That being said, discount brokerage service models and customer experiences vary widely, which is why thoroughly interviewing and vetting any agent is so important.

Pros

• Discount real estate agents save sellers in Pennsylvania $3,613.00, on average.
• You get expertise from a licensed agent who knows the Pennsylvania market.
• Some discount real estate agents offer full service, so you can get everything you'd expect for less.

Cons

• Some Pennsylvania discount real estate agents only provided limited service, and may charge extra fees for "add-ons" like professional photography.
• Discount real estate brokers sometimes charge upfront fees, so you'll have to pay out-of-pocket before your house sells.

• Clever Real Estate gets you special discounted rates from top, conventional realtors representing major brokerages like RE/MAX, Century 21, and Compass. Get personalized agent recommendations and save up to 50% on listing fees.
• You can try to negotiate a lower commission rate with a conventional realtor yourself, but this can be difficult to do (only about 22% of sellers who try to negotiate are successful). Negotiating is easier if you have a pricier home, are selling in a particularly hot market, or already have a buyer lined up.
• If you're selling for sale by owner in Pennsylvania and just want a marketing boost, a Pennsylvania flat fee MLS service may be a better fit. Basic flat fee MLS plans get your listing on the local MLS for around $150. Premium plans include more services, like pro photography, but can cost well over $1,000.
• If you want to sell your house fast in Pennsylvania or sell your house in as-is condition, consider using a Pennsylvania cash home buyer company. Cash home buyers will purchase almost any home in any condition. You typically don't have to pay realtor commissions and many will actually cover your closing costs. And because they pay cash, they can usually close in a matter of days.
